It's times like this that I wish HN had better moderation, you are insultingly rude to the parent and to one of my comments.

While you may not have liked the way it was said, this users reply is actually responding with correct information.

While setting up your own mail server is fun, rewarding, and pretty easy, there are serious problems that anyone considers it needs to be made aware of. Over any serious period of time, the odds that not all your mail is getting delivered approaches and equals 100%. It's a sad reality but a true one unfortunately. If you okay with the fact that some percentage of your email will never make it to your destination (and in many cases you won't know that's happening) then it might be for you. Most people are not okay with that for obvious reasons.

No, they are hand waving and being rude and insulting while delivering misinformation.

I'm calling out harmful misinformation. It makes me incredibly angry that it's 2023 and people are still peddling self-hosted email. That said, you have a point I've been unnecessarily rude in this thread and I should be more civil.
